I know Guildsoftware has a lot of other features to concentrate on, but: What about some Help for complete noobs?

Your game is really intuitive to use, which makes the current
Help really senseless - sorry, but I haven't read one thing there that I wouldn't have figured out by myself in 10 secs :)

What would be needed to interest new Players (Testers) is some simple Introduction to the game, telling things like how to start (I died 6 times fighting robots before figuring out that I should do some trading first to get a better ship (yes, that's dumb. Nevertheless I could have figured out the controls w/o the current "Help". See what I mean? :)), and other things experienced players just know. Like: How can I pick up those pink radar-blips? Right now I just have found out how to crash into them :)

I think this would only cost a few man-hours, but would make playing/testing for newbies more fascinating and less frustrating.

Thanks for your great work!

Erm... There's lotsa community guides out there...

Actually, the manual is insanely outdated (devs! Take the thing down already! :P)... It's from way before I signed up, and I did that back in 3.1.8 (about half a year ago)... Wow... Has it really been that long? Yeah... I guess so... 8|

It was outdated when i signed up, around a year ago i think. Powerups are gone, deathmatch is gone, etc.

That's what I want :)
What about some links on this site to guides/intros/... ?

Problem is, mine's not finished. It will be soon, though. Just hold out a little longer... I'll add "Appendix C: Additional Resources"
